Chapter 94 Officer, he fell down on his own.
When Lu Zhaoye came in, he noticed that the restaurant's surveillance cameras were not turned on, but at that time it was just a guess.
However, after hearing the uncle's arrogant and unscrupulous words, Lu Zhaoye became even more certain of his guess.
At this moment, Lu Zhaoye walked up to the middle-aged shop owner, looked at the black screen of his phone, and couldn't help but smile, completely free of any worries.
"Why aren't you dialing? Let me help you."
After saying that, he snatched the uncle's phone directly. There was no password, so he unlocked it and decisively dialed Uncle Hat's number.
Everyone present was startled, blinked, and their mouths opened and closed slightly.
Aren't you the one who most likely should be arrested? You called the police yourself.
The middle-aged shop owner stared blankly at Lu Zhaoye, his hands trembling uncontrollably. He knew in his heart that he was committing fraud, and if the police really came, he would be finished.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his legs were starting to feel weak. He gave an awkward laugh, trying to salvage the situation.
"Um, young man..."
Lu Zhaoye ignored him, put his phone on the table, and said coldly,
"Stay inside, the police will be here soon."
Meanwhile, the fat man had recovered. Seeing that Lu Zhaoye had actually called the police, he swallowed hard, his eyes filled with guilt, and got up to run away.
But Lu Zhaoye still didn't give him a chance, and said jokingly,
"Why are you in such a hurry? Stay a little longer."
After saying that, Xiao Zifang, who had been silent until now, moved and stood directly in front of the fat man, arms crossed and a smirk on his lips.
At this moment, Xu Qingwan felt a little guilty, and her eyes were full of self-reproach when she looked at Lu Zhaoye.
She just wanted to have a quiet meal. When she came in, she specifically asked that the stir-fried potatoes and ham was only ten yuan.
But when it came time to pay, the shopkeeper lied to her, saying he had changed the price and forgot to mention it, and that it would cost her fifteen yuan. However, she only had twelve yuan on her, and she couldn't afford any more.
Xu Qingwan got into an argument with the boss, and the fat man, who was eating quietly, heard the argument and had a wicked idea. He said he would pay the bill for her, but took the opportunity to say a lot of lewd things to her.
There was no one else in the store at the time. Xu Qingwan was worried that she would be coerced, so she prepared to run away. However, she only wanted to run to the street in front of the store and did not intend to renege on her debt.
However, the boss was a shrewd man who saw through Xu Qingwan's thoughts at a glance and rushed over to corner her.
Xu Qingwan was terrified when she saw the two men approaching and burst into tears, screaming in great fear.
Fortunately, a classmate from Class 7 happened to be passing by, heard the crying, and rushed in to protect her, which led to what happened next.
But Xu Qingwan never expected things to turn out this way. This was the first time she had ever seen her bad deskmate be so ruthless.
But she wasn't scared at all; instead, she was filled with worry. She worried that her bad classmate would face retaliation from the fat boy, that the school would find out and her classmate would be expelled, and that she might jeopardize her classmate's future...
"What are you thinking about? Go outside and wait."
Suddenly, her "bad deskmate's" voice came, and she felt a gentle pressure on her head. Xu Qingwan looked up and met Lu Zhaoye's gentle gaze.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Xu Qingwan puffed out her chubby cheeks, her eyes welling up with tears again. She raised her head slightly and said stubbornly,
"I don't."
Lu Zhaoye's lips curled slightly as he noticed Xu Qingwan's subtle expression. He pulled two pieces of paper from his pocket and placed them on Xu Qingwan's face, speaking softly.
"Then cover your eyes. The occasion later is not suitable for children to watch."
"......"
Soon, two men in hats arrived in a police car.
Xu Qingwan sat in the corner, covering her face with a tissue, while Lu Zhaoye and Xiao Zifang stood obediently by the entrance of the small restaurant.
The fat man remained lying motionless on the ground, pretending to be dead.
The middle-aged shop owner stood nervously behind the cash register, his forehead covered in a thick layer of cold sweat.
A police officer who looked only in his early thirties glanced at Lu Zhaoye, then looked away and asked in a deep voice,
"Who called the police?"
Lu Zhaoye immediately came out obediently, his tone gentle, showing no trace of the fierce aura he had just displayed.
"Officer, I'm the one who called the police."
The young police officer's vision went black, and he sighed inwardly.
"I see. Then tell me what happened."
So, Lu Zhaoye began to give the police a brief account of what had happened.
It was just slightly polished.
Xu Qingwan was bewildered by Lu Zhaoye's explanation, the uncle boss's pupils widened in shock, and the fat man who had been pretending to be dead on the ground suddenly sprang up.
Only the fat man, who knew everything, stood to the side with a beaming smile, arms crossed, looking completely satisfied.
The young police officer frowned, his expression full of frustration, and asked Lu Zhaoye a question.
"You mean this big fat guy fell down on his own?"
Lu Zhaoye nodded and pointed to the floor covered in soup.
"The soup was spilled, isn't it normal for him to fall?"
Lu Zhaoye didn't embellish much; he only omitted the part about hitting someone, and told the rest of the story truthfully.
At this moment, the fat man couldn't listen anymore. He sat up, pointed at Lu Zhaoye, and said with a very aggrieved expression,
"Officer, he's lying! He's the one who hit me! Look at my face! He just poured noodle soup on my face!"
The young police officer walked up to the fat man, paused for a moment, but recognized him instantly.
"Are you Er Gou? You've only been released a few days ago and you're already causing trouble again?"
Lu Zhaoye couldn't help but laugh out loud. So this fat guy had a criminal record?
He was a little curious and asked another officer in a low voice,
"Brother, what did this fat guy do to get arrested?"
"Oh, he was arrested for soliciting prostitutes and spent a few days in jail. He just got out."
Lu Zhaoye nodded, then put on a meek look again, and said angrily,
"No wonder he flirts with girls. Big brothers, you must arrest him again!"
Xu Qingwan looked at Lu Zhaoye with a puzzled expression, listening to his obedient voice, her mind still reeling.
At this moment, Er Gou was truly terrified, never expecting to run into an acquaintance here, but he still stubbornly continued to say...
"I've corrected it, Officer Luo. This time it really was that brat who did it."
Officer Luo shook his head, not believing Er Gou's one-sided story. He walked straight to the shop owner's cashier, took out his law enforcement badge, and said in a deep voice,
"Pull up your surveillance footage, I need to take a look."
The middle-aged shop owner looked embarrassed and bowed obsequiously, chuckling awkwardly.
"Officer, the security cameras here... are broken."
Officer Luo sighed inwardly, already believing it; otherwise, that kid Lu Zhaoye wouldn't have done such a thing.
But his sense of responsibility compelled him to check again, and sure enough, the surveillance system was indeed broken.
Seeing Officer Luo's reaction, Er Gou, who was sitting on the ground, immediately realized that there really was no surveillance footage.
That means there's no evidence for anything that just happened.
His eyes darted around, and he patted himself, standing up unsteadily, and said,
"Officer Luo, I'll be going now."
"?"
Officer Luo frowned, immediately stopped Er Gou, and said coldly,
"No one involved may leave until the matter is clarified."
Er Gou ignored him completely, shaking his head and reverting to his arrogant demeanor.
"I didn't do anything wrong, and I didn't call the police. I'm just a passerby, why can't I leave?"
Just as Officer Luo was about to speak, Lu Zhaoye, who was standing at the door, suddenly said with a grin,
"Who said you haven't done anything wrong?"
Er Gou said with a disdainful look, "Do you have any evidence? What makes you say I committed a crime?"
"Yes, I have,"
Lu Zhaoye spoke frankly, then looked at Xiao Zifang.
"Fatty, show the police your video from just now."
